Feel Unstoppable in Your 40s and Beyond— Stronger, Pain-Free, and in Control of Your Body with Therapeutic Pilates
Restore Strength, Improve Flexibility, and Relieve Pain—All in a Gentle Yet Powerful Way
If you’re struggling with stiffness, aches, or feeling disconnected from your body, you are not alone. As women, our bodies change with age, but that doesn’t mean discomfort, weakness, or lack of mobility should be your new normal.
Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with back pain, pelvic floor issues, or simply want to feel stronger and more confident, Therapeutic Pilates is designed to help you rebuild your body safely, improve mobility, and restore strength—so you can move through life with confidence.
A Personalized Approach to Strength and Healing
This is not a one-size-fits-all workout. Our small group (3-4 women) and private sessions ensure that you get the individualized attention you need. With expert guidance, we help you:
- Strengthen your core and pelvic floor for better posture, stability, and balance
- Relieve joint pain, stiffness, and muscle tension
- Improve flexibility and mobility without high-impact movements
- Rebuild strength after surgery, injury, or years of inactivity
If traditional workouts have felt too intense or ineffective, Pilates offers a gentle yet highly effective way to feel strong and supported in your body again.
How Pilates Can Transform Your Body
A strong core is the foundation of movement. As we age, our bodies naturally lose muscle tone, stability, and resilience—but Pilates helps rebuild strength from the inside out. By focusing on deep core muscles, pelvic floor engagement, and postural alignment, Pilates provides a solid foundation for pain-free movement in daily life.
Having small groups (3-4 women) or one-on-one sessions allows all the attention to focus on you, which gives you faster results to meet your goals with a customized approach. Our certified instructors dedicate 100% of their attention to you, giving you the perfect mix of therapy with Pilates (no matter what experience you have!).
Pilates training will focus on mobility, flexibility and strength through a full range of motion, which can help restore those chronic aches and pains to a healthy state if used in the rehab stage. Core strengthening is an integral component of any injury prevention, rehabilitation or sports performance program. A strong core provides a dynamic link between the upper and lower body, alleviating excess stress on your joints, healing back pain and pelvic floor conditions.
Pilates is one of the BEST forms of conditioning to enhance daily activities. With integration of the core musculature with shoulder girdle and hip joints, it serves to improve overall flexibility and strength, with increased body awareness translating to picking up kids or grandkids, lifting your laundry basket, and easing those aches and pains when you get out of bed in the morning. Emphasis on proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment allow you to access each part of the body individually, and become familiar with their functional mechanics.
Support From A Great Community
We have very like-minded clients, who are goal driven and want the results. When you get them all into the same room, they are always pushing each other to be better. And what is even better than that, they come early to class to catch up or talk about the night they had together and then they stay late for a coffee or passion tea and figure out what the next outing will be. It's about community and work to make a fun environment.
Boost Your Energy Level Throughout The Day
When you correctly execute a workout program, even if you are tired from the session, you will have more energy throughout your day. More energy for being focused at work, to keep up with your kids, and participate in sports you have always wanted to be in. Don't let yourself be exhausted and tired throughout your days because you lack the right exercise program for you.
Feel More Confident In All Facets of Your Life
Let's face it... When you look good, you feel good! And when you feel good, you become more confident in yourself. You feel that way because you exude confidence in how you carry yourself each day. Having the strength in your body gives you the ability stand up strongly and not let anything get in your way.
Become The Envy of All Your Friends
When you get together with your friends, they will want to talk about you... How good you look and feel! Your friends will want to know your secrets on how you have become so successful, able to stay up with everyone, stay injury free, and participate in every activity you want without limitations. That ability is achieved only by hard work, done consistently, over time. We want you to achieve that, so we work hard for you.

Dr. Dawn’s Pilates classes are FAB! They are really easy to follow and she takes the time to actually walk around and show you how to do each one. I always get the feeling that she cares enough to have thought about all of the exercises she gives you… and that makes you feel more confident and sure that they are going to make a difference like you hope.

I came in because I had been to one of Dr. Dawn's classes at another facility shortly after having my second child. I loved what I learned and asked if I could continue on with her, but do Pilates to continue my strengthening. I have learned so much working with her and she has given me the life back I was slow to regain after my first child. Feels great... Thank you so much!
